چکیده

How do users behave if they can tag each other in social networks? In this paper, we answer this question by studying the interactive tagging network constructed by Twitter lists. Twitter lists can be regarded as the tagging process; a user (i.e., tagger) creates a list with a name (i.e., tag) and adds other users (i.e., tagged users) into the list. This tagging network is by nature different from the resource tagging networks (e.g., Flickr and Delicious) because users on this network can tag each other. We address the following research questions: (RQ1) What is the common patterns and the difference between the interactive tagging network and the resource tagging networks? (RQ2) Do users tag each other on the interactive tagging network? And if so, to what extent? (RQ3) What is the difference between the two types of relationships on Twitter: who-tags-whom and who-follows-whom? By quantitatively studying million-scale networks, we found the pervasive patterns across the different tagging networks, and the interactive patterns within the interactive tagging network. This study sheds light on the underlying characteristics of the interactive tagging network, which is relevant to the social scientists and the system designers of the tagging systems.

Comparison Between Unsupervised and Supervise Fuzzy Clustering Method in Interactive Mode to Obtain the Best Result for Extract Subtle Patterns from Seismic Facies Maps

Pattern recognition on seismic data is a useful technique for generating seismic facies maps that capture changes in the geological depositional setting. Seismic facies analysis can be performed using the supervised and unsupervised pattern recognition methods. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we compared and evaluated the capability of two unsuperv...

On Stability, Clarity, and Co-occurrence of Self-Tagging

Most studies on tags focus on collaborative tagging systems where each resource (e.g., article, photo) can be tagged by multiple users with multiple tags. The tag usage patterns in self-tagging systems where a resource (e.g., a blog post) can only be tagged by its owner, however, have not been well studied. From the tags assigned by bloggers to their own blog posts, we obtain interesting insigh...
